Thank you for the prompt response. As far as I can determine I have followed all those references.

At this point I have to wonder whether my VFP 8 Beta might have some download error. I hope to get permission to install VFP 8 Beta on a Windows 2000 machine at work, but it will not in time for tonight's VFP SIG.

Murphy's law I guess. Thanks again for your help.
